The undergraduate mission of the Department of Health and Sport Science is to prepare students to be proficient and professional in a variety of disciplines related to health, wellness, and sport. The department offers four different majors: two that are pre-professional/graduate (Dietetics and Health Science) as well as those for students targeting employment immediately upon graduation (Nursing and Sport and Wellness).

The ACEND accredited Dietetics Program prepares students for post-baccalaureate dietetic internships or pre-professional practice programs. See the graduate catalog for information on our Master of Dietetics and Nutrition program.
